Keith and Carol Cooper at TIMS

Magicians at TIMS were treated to a rare insight into the career of Keith Cooper, President of the International Brotherhood of Magicians (IBM), who was guest speaker at the society’s Club Night on Wednesday 24th November.

Through a series of tricks and anecdotes Keith and Carol recounted their magical journey which started with Keith at the age of eight performing his first ‘public’ trick on the radio! Following his success in the Magic Circle’s Young Magician of the Year competition Keith then embarked on a full-time career in magic.

Bryan Porter, President of The Ilford Magical Society, said: “A very entertaining and interesting evening was enjoyed by all.”
